EFEMP1

Basics

Aliases:
This biomarker is also known as:
  • fibulin 3,
  • MTLV,
  • Fibulin-3,
  • EGF containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1,
  • Extracellular protein S1-5,
  • FBNL,
  • Fibrillin-like protein,
  • S1-5,
  • FBLN3,
  • DHRD,

Description…

EFEMP1 binds EGFR, the EGF receptor, inducing EGFR autophosphorylation and the activation of downstream signaling pathways. It may play a role in cell adhesion and migration, and may function as a negative regulator of chondrocyte differentiation. In the olfactory epithelium, it may regulate glial cell migration, differentiation and the ability of glial cells to support neuronal neurite outgrowth. EFEMP1 is up-regulated in malignant gliomas and may play a role in the agressive nature of these tumors by increasing glioma cell adhesiveness and invasive properties.
